Arrow keys on ipad2

Is there any way to get arrow keys on ipad2 soft keyboard. Finding it difficult to correct the URLs and other corrections in contacts etc., without arrow keys.

The touch screen solution is just pain.is it so difficult for apple folks to understand that arrow keys are needed. I have already turned off auto correct cause for any non english dictionary word like a name or an abbr. it just replaces by default and then entering multiple key sequence to zoom out, touch, place and then edit is ver time consuming. You remove the finger and the cursor shifts one position and u are back to sq one. For all the usability studies apple seems to be doing, no one has complained about the lack of cursor keypad is not just strange but rather stupid.
Here is my live example. While typing this message when i had to correct a word i tried the zoom in, edit, zoom out solution. The moment you zoom in, the msg does not fit on the screen, so one has to start moving the screen to read the message. Why should end user hv to press so many key sequences to avoid adding a cursor movement keypad.

  • Bridge CC crashes while using arrow keys to switch images

    Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Adobe Bridge 2014 on Mac is crashing every time I press an arrow key to move through images in bridge. I can click to manually select images with no problem, but using the up/down arrow keys to move to the next image up/down brings up the spinning beach ball and immediately locks the program up, requiring a force quit.
    Did the usual Mac permissions and fsck stuff to no avail. Ideas?
    Dan

    Thanks for moving my post to this correct forum. (I'm afraid I missed it when I originally posted.) A bit more information based on attempts to fix and on further attempts to use the program.
    After launching Bridge — before I select any specific image — it initially seems to work correctly. For example, I can use menu items and select and open folders. However...
    Once I drill down through folders to show raw files in the browser the problems begin. I can manually select an image by clicking on it, but the program the locks up if I do things such as attempt to navigate to another image using the up/down keyboard arrows or select anything from a menu that would perform an action on the image. (The problem happens with any image selected — not one particular image, and with images that worked fine until 48 hours ago.)
    ACR still works. I can double click an image and open the raw converter, and I can doubly click a smart object image in Photoshop do go back to the raw editor and it allows me to edit.
    I did the step of holding down command-option-shift at Bridge startup and selecting all three options to delete the cache and so forth. Still no joy.
    I did the usual Mac disk/file system repair stuff — repairing permissions and repairing disk — to no avail.
    I downloaded and reinstalled Bridge but the problem persists.
    Since I have a full backup of the drive on which Bridge is installed and since this backup drive is bootable, I double clicked the copy of Bridge on the backup drive... and it opened (slowly!) but worked correctly. (Not that this means much, but my second instance on my laptop continues to run fine.)
    I'm stuck, in a serious way, at this point. Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Dan

  • Arrow key and space bar do not work scrolling in PDF document with film file?

    I have made a single PDF file from 26 different InDesign files, first exported to PDF:s. Text and photos. One of the documents contain a film file (.mov). As I scroll through the documents in full screen mode, once I start to play and stop the film I can no longer use the spacebar nor right arrow key to get to the next document. Only mouse works.

    Hope that helps.

  • Some of the shortcut keys and directional keys on the keyboard are not working in FF 4 RC1 (i.e. Tab, Ctrl+C, arrow keys). They work fin in FF 3.6x and other applications.

    Crtl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X, Tab, and arrow keys do not work at all in FF4.0b13 and later. I am not sure about earlier versions as this is the first version I have tried.

    I found this helpful article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1381) and worked my way through the section "Some keys don't work as expected".
    All the following functions/settings are disabled or turned off:
    Text to speech / Speak selected text when the key is pressed
    Slow Keys
    Mouse Keys.
    The keyboard viewer just confirms my list of keys that are not working.
    Starting in safe mode makes no difference; nor does booting from the Mac OS X Install Disc and running Terminal from the Utilities menu. The same keys as before fail to work.
    This seems to confirm that it's a hardware issue. Anyone have any suggestions?

  • Arrow keys - up, down, left right - not working in Safari 2.0.4 (419.3)

    Hello all - need some help as my arrows keys in Safari have ceased working - can't scroll up or down using them and wondering why. Yes, they do work in all other app's, Yes I have deleted pref files for Safari, done most common maintenace and yes I have searched extensively for any help online.
    I did install the beta for Safari 3, and then promptly uninstalled, leaving me as I am and have been for a few days without working arrow keys.
    Any help out there is most appreciated

    hmmmm...no help, no replies.....
    ......thanks everyone!
    Hi Michael.
    I read your question when you first posted and had absolutely no idea why this problem would occur. So I didn't respond.
    I'd guess that's the same with everyone else who came across your question. People aren't ignoring you purposefully - they just don't know the answer or have any ideas to troubleshoot this problem.
    Of course, that could change. You only posted two days ago, and there's a chance that in this user-to-user forum, where all people who help are volunteering their time, anyone who happens to have an idea of why this problem is occurring just hasn't come across your question yet.

  • How to change the presets in pop-up menus (CS6 or CR 7, example Photo Filter) with arrow keys?

    How to change the presets in pop-up menus (CS6 or CR 7, example Photo Filter) with arrow keys an see at the same time the changes on the photo?
    It worked under Windows, now I use OS 10.8 and have to apply a preset with a click or Return button but after that the pop-up menu close so I have to open it once again to change a preset. Please help. Thank you!

    The filter panel is a shortcut for the content panel and it only effects the content of that window. So if you have a folder it will only see this as a folder and not with its content. (a Stack behaves about the same, being different in only counting the first file in the filter panel criteria but not what is in the stack itself)
    You have a view work arounds, first is use menu view / show items from subfolders (this can take some time especially if you have not used caching before on this content) and this builds visible thumbs for all content and that can be used for filtering.
    Or use the find command (Edit / find) and inhere specify the source and fill in the criteria include subfolders and this will give you the correct result.
    When you create a smart collection the find command also pops up given you the same opportunity to get the results in a collection, but since a collection is only a bunch of aliases referring to the originals you might be a bit careful with editing and deleting.

  • How do I get Firefox to go back to scrolling one line at a time with the up/down arrow keys? I noticed this changed in Firefox 10 and I actually preferred the one line at a time, can this be an option in future releases?

    The title says it all, I'm not really sure if this is the proper place to post this as it's not a "bug" per se. I noticed on the list of bugs "fixed" in Firefox 10 scrolling more than one line with the arrow keys was one of them. I know a lot of people hated the one-line thing too so I'd suggest in future releases it should be a preference we can change.

    You can right-click either Back or Forward button to open the tab history list.

  • In Dreamweaver CC code view, how do I reenable shift-control+arrow keys to select words?

    In previous versions of Dreamweaver (for Windows but presumably for other operating systems as well) and in pretty much any other text editor (except maybe for vi/m but including the one I'm using to write this message in now). I can select characters using shift plus the arrow keys and select words by pressing shift-control plus the arrow keys. It seems you now have to use shift-alt to select words. I don't want to have to undo about 25 years of habit just for Dreamweaver.
    Please say this is an easy setting I can uncheck somewhere! Thanks!

    That is an issue that has come up a lot lately...
    Make sure to add your voice to the others here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform and hopefully in the next release they'll put it back to normal.

  • My arrow keys start start repeating without touching them and a string of periods are displayed in an entry field (e.g. credential to log in). Or if I type an arrow key, they immediately start repeating in perpituity. It's like a ghost in the machine.

    After the last OS X update (a security update I think), two things happened:
    my iMac would not boot (gray screen) or if it did boot, the mouse wasn't recognized and I couldn't mouse to the PW field to log in - nor did tabbing or any keystrokes get me there. I fixed this by unpludding peripherals (back up drive), but know I can't boot unless they are unplugged and it makes using TimeMachine a pain in the arse.
    My wired, extended mac keyboard now types without me, primarily, as far as I can tell, the arrow key(s). .................................... So, for example, those periods you see here are because I touched the right arrow key and off it went until I pressed ESC. Also, sometimes they just start going off on their own. For example, I can be in sleep mode and all of a sudden the screen will wake and the PW field will start filling with periods, just like you see above. ***?
    Seriously, you would think that apple would have a response for this. I have searched their support site and NOTHING. I've seen some older threads on reseting certain things. Does anyone have any summer 2013 updates?
    Thank You!!!

    kaeandcolesmon,
    If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
    To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
    See:
    Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

  • How do I get the arrow keys to move one character at a time in the address bar or search box?

    I can no longer get the arrow keys to advance or retard "one character at a time" in the address bar, the search box, or on any form in Firefox. This feature works in other browsers without a problem. The "Home" and "End" keys do not work either. How do I fix this behavior?

    How do I configure the AX to connect to the hub's wireless network? It will only scan one base station Airport Express at a time in the Airport Utility. I think what I am trying to do is use the hub as a router to the two AX's. Is there a specific way to set this up?
    To set up the AX to join a wireless network as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    Launch the AirPort Utility.
    Select the AX.
    If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
    AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
    Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
    Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
    Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
    Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
    Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
    Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

  • Using arrow keys to view one thumbnail at a time in the Faces corkboard.

    In the faces window, you can wave the mouse over a picture on the corkboard and see all the pictures but the effect can be hard to control. In iPhoto '09 you could, just park the mouse over the corkboard picture and use the right- and left-arrow keys to view one thumbnail at a time. This does not work in iPhoto '11... any way to re-establish this behavior?

    ctrl+a will select all emails currently shown. In delete folder just select mails using ctrl+a and delete them using delete button on your keyboard, or from context menu.

  • Left arrow key does not go back one character at a time

    on my key pad, I cannot backup "over" characters one space at a time  I am not looking to DELETE, merly to backup one character at a time.  I know I can use the function key along with the arrow key for word at a time jump.  I can jump one character to the right by pushing that key but I cannot do that with my left arrow key.  slight annoyance, but I swear it worked before. . .

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:

  • I used to be able to skip a cell to the right by using the toggle arrow keys

    I placing a number or text in a cell i used to be able to skip the cell to the right by using the toggle arrow keys.  I can't now?  Using the RETURN key only goes down a cell.  I want to go right?  Why?

    Hi Mark,
    In Numbers 3, an arrow key moves the cursor one cell up, down, left or right.
    Tab moves one cell right. Shift tab moves one cell left.
    The command key and an arrow key will take the cursor to top, bottom, left or right of a table.
    via the arrow keys (next to the letterM and question mark?).
    I am puzzled by this. Between the letter M and ? I have < above comma (,) and > above full stop (.)
    Shift command < zooms out and shift command > zooms in.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • I know this will sound ridiculous but I have "lost" the arrow key (to go back or forward) at the top on the bar.  I swear I used to be able to just click and arrow to see the previous page and now it's not there.  Help!?

    I know this sounds crazy but I have "lost" my arrow key at the top of the screen to go forward or back.  I'm sure it used to be there but it's really bugging me that I can't find it.  It's a real pain trying to go one page back.  Help?!

    If this is Safari that you've lost the arrows in,  go to Safari > view > show toolbar.
    If the toolbar is present and the arrows missing then right click on the toolbar and select "customize toolbar".
    Drag the arrows or the default set back to the bar.
    Regards,
    Captfred
